No differences were detected in sexual practices (including oral sex) and (previous) sexually transmitted infections Cancer Research Campaign Keywords: oral cancer; dentition; oral hygiene; sexual practices; oral sex; warts In developed countries, over 80% of cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx are attributable to tobacco smoking and heavy alcohol consumption, with low intake of fresh fruit and vegetables playing a smaller role (Negri et al, 993; Franceschi et al, 999). Since the earliest case-control studies on oral cancer (Wynder et al, 957; Graham et al, 977), poor oral hygiene (Franco et al, 989), poor dentition (Zheng et al, 990), missing teeth or denture use (Marshall et al, 992) have been postulated as risk factors. Viruses, most notably human papillomavirus (HPV) (Franceschi et al, 996), are suspected to have a role. A relation between oral cancer and sexual habits may also exist, but information is limited (Maden et al, 992; Schwartz et al, 998). The present Italian case-control study was part of an international study on oral cancer and HPV carried out also in Spain, Northern Ireland, Poland, Cuba, Canada, India, Sudan and Australia, and coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (Herrero et al, 2000). Between July 996 and June 999 first incident cases of cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx were identified in three hospitals of Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, North-East Italy. Eight percent of potential cases refused or were unable to participate. A total of 32 cases (median age = 60; range years), including 33 women, were enrolled, distributed by subsite as: tongue, 54; mouth, 34; oro-pharynx, 39; unspecified, 5. All cases had their interview and oral examination before any cancer treatment. Controls were 48 subjects (median age = 60; range years), including 45 women. They had been admitted to major hospitals in the study region for acute conditions unrelated to smoking or drinking habits (37% for acute surgical diseases; 8% for non-traumatic orthopaedic conditions; 8% for Received 3 May 2000 Revised 2 June 2000 Accepted June 2000 Correspondence to: S Franceschi skin diseases; 2% for trauma; % for ear diseases; and 4% for eye diseases). Control subjects were frequency-matched with cases by age and gender. Four percent of contacted controls refused to participate. Cases and controls were interviewed by trained nurses. Study subjects had given written consent to be included in the study and provide samples of buccal exfoliated cells, blood and (cases only) tissue biopsies. Questionnaire included information on sociodemographic characteristics, detailed histories of smoking and drinking habits, prior occurrence of sexually transmitted and other infections, cancer family history, and a 25-item dietary questionnaire. Indicators of oral hygiene were self-reported by means of 9 specific questions. The number of missing teeth which had not been replaced and the general oral condition, on the basis of presence of tartar, decayed teeth, and mucosal irritation, were evaluated by interviewers through inspection of the mouth. Interviewers were aware of case/control status. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed using unconditional multiple logistic regression models. All models included terms for age quinquennium and gender. Second-level models included also terms for smoking and drinking habits and intake of fruit and vegetables. Cases and controls reported similar educational attainment (Table ) and occupation (not shown). Conversely, cases showed a marked excess of heavy smokers (OR for 25 cigs/day versus never smokers = 4.8; 95% CI: ) and heavy alcohol drinkers (OR for 84 drinks/week versus abstainers = 2.7; 95% CI: ). Ex-smokers had a 2.4-fold risk of oral cancer compared to never smokers. Cases reported that they brushed their teeth less often than controls, but the inverse association was substantially lowered by allowance for smoking and drinking habits and fruit and vegetable intake (OR =.4 for < vs. 2 per day; 95% CI: ) (Table 2). More cases than controls reported that their gums bled sometimes (OR =.8; 95% CI: ) or always or nearly always 238

(OR = 3.9; 95% CI:.2 2.6). Mouthwash use was infrequent and did not seem to influence oral cancer risk. Similar proportions of cases (45%) and controls (47%) reported wearing a removable denture. Neither ever nor long-duration ( 0 years) use of denture was associated with an increased risk. Lack of dental check-ups in the last 20 years was not associated with risk after allowance for major risk correlates (OR =.; 95% CI: ). At visual inspection of the mouth, the number of missing teeth was not significantly associated to oral cancer risk (OR =.4; 95% CI: ), whereas a poor general oral condition was 4.5-fold (95% CI:.8 0.9) more frequent among cases than control subjects, even after allowance for smoking and drinking habits and fruit and vegetable intake (Table 2). Cases and controls reported similar previous frequency of warts at various body sites, and oral or genital herpetic lesions (Table 3). An excess of borderline statistical significance emerged for candidiasis of the mouth, but not of other sites (mostly genital). Three cases and one control reported syphilis, whereas for gonorrhoea the corresponding figures were three and four, respectively. No trend in oral cancer risk was found in relation to number of lifetime sexual partners (OR for versus partner =.6) or of partners who were prostitutes (OR 6 prostitute, versus none =.0, men only). Occasional (OR = 0.7) or frequent (OR =.3) practice of oral sex, and homosexual intercourse (OR =.0, men only) did not seem to affect oral cancer risk (Table 3). All variables were reexamined separately for cancers of the tongue, mouth and oropharynx, and among non-smokers, yielding similar risk patterns. Poor oral hygiene has been postulated as a risk factor for oral cancer in several studies (Franco et al, 989; Schildt et al, 998) including a few where smoking and drinking habits were allowed for (Elwood et al, 984; Zheng et al, 990; Bundgaard et al, 995; Velly et al, 998). People who brushed their teeth infrequently generally showed RR in the range, but the association was generally not significant, as in our present study. In a Chinese case-control study (Zheng et al, 990) a 7-fold elevated risk emerged in men who reported they never brushed their teeth. An association of oral cancer risk with number of missing teeth has been found in some (Zheng et al, 990; Marshall et al, 992; Bundgaart et al, 995), but not all studies (Kabat et al, 989). However, number of missing and not replaced teeth is strongly correlated with dental check-ups which, in turn, are inversely associated with oral cancer (Bundgaard et al, 995). Our study suggested that, albeit indicators of dental care and dentition were only marginally worse among cases, cases might have a poorer general mouth condition than control subjects, as indicated by more frequent gum bleeding and, at oral inspection, excesses of tartar deposits, decayed teeth and mucosal irritation. Such differences were similar for cancers of the mouth, tongue, and oro-pharynx, and they were confirmed among the few never smokers (ORs for frequent gum bleeding =.7, and for poor general oral condition = 2.9). Findings from oral inspection, however, must be interpreted with great caution, since interviewers knew who the cases were and examined cancer patients before the tumour had been removed. Recent studies tend to agree with our present findings in showing no adverse effect of denture use (Franco et al, 989; Kabat et al, 989; Marshall et al, 992; Velly et al, 998). Although malignant transformation of denture-induced lesions has been hypothesized, histological studies of severe denture stomatitis (papillary hyperplasia) showed no evidence of epithelial dysplasias or carcinomas (Budtz-Jørgensen, 98). As for the British Journal of Cancer (2000) 83(9),

Significant correlations between incidence rates of cancer of the oral cavity and those of cancers of the cervix and penis (Muñoz et al, 990) and the report of HPV-DNA in a proportion of oral cancer biopsies (Franceschi et al, 996) point to a possible role of sexual habits. Maden et al (992) showed a 2.4-fold increased oral cancer risk, of borderline significance, in Washington state among men with 30 or more sexual partners compared to 4 or fewer. Ever practising oral sex showed an OR of 0.4, while herpetic infections (oral or genital), and warts (oral, genital, or common warts) were unrelated to oral cancer risk (Maden et al, 992). Schwartz et al (998), also from Washington state, reported that oral cancer risk increased with the number of lifetime partners (OR = 2.3 for 5 vs. partner) and prior genital warts (OR = 2.2) in men, but not in women (OR =.0 and 0.7, respectively). Conversely, practice of oral sex did not seem to influence risk. Maden et al (992) found a 3-fold (excess of HPV-DNA in exfoliated buccal cells of cases compared to controls. Schwartz et al (998) found a similar percentage of HPV-DNA in exfoliated cells of cases and controls (9%), but reported a 26% prevalence of HPV-DNA in oral cancer biopsies and an OR of 2.3 for HPV-6 capsid antibodies. The evaluation of HPV-status in cases and controls from our study is in progress (Herrero et al, 2000). The lack of influence of various indicators of sexual habits in our study does not refute per se a possible role of HPV in the aetiology of cancer of the oral cavity and oro-pharynx. It suggests, however, that either non-sexual routes of HPV transmission are involved (e.g., hand-to-mouth, Mindel and Tideman, 999) and/or that HPV is involved only in a small proportion of oral cancers (Snijders et al, 994; Schwartz et al, 998).
